    • The property was our family home.  A fixed low rate btl/ development loan was given (last century!). It was derelict. Did it up/ was rented out for a while.  Then moved in/out over the years (mostly around school)  It was a mix of rental and family home. The ad-hoc rents covered the loan amply.  Nowadays  banks don't allow such a mix.  (I have written this before.) Problems started when the lease was extended and needed to re-mortgage to cover the expense.  Wanted another btl.  Got a tenant in situ. Was located elsewhere (work). A broker found a btl lender, they reneged.  Broker didn't find another btl loan.  The tenant was paying enough to cover the proposed annual btl mortgage in 4 months. The broker gave up trying to find another.  I ended up on a bridge and this disastrous path.  (I have raised previous issues about the broker) Not sure what you mean by 'split'.  The property was always leasehold with a separate freeholder  The freeholder eventually sold the fh to another entity by private agreement (the trust) but it's always been separate.  That's quite normal.  One can't merge titles - unless lease runs out/ is forfeited and new one is not created/ granted.
    • Northmonk forget what I said about your Notice to Hirer being the best I have seen . Though it  still may be  it is not good enough to comply with PoFA. Before looking at the NTH, we can look at the original Notice to Keeper. That is not compliant. First the period of parking as sated on their PCN is not actually the period of parking but a misstatement  since it is only the arrival and departure times of your vehicle. The parking period  is exactly that -ie the time youwere actually parked in a parking spot.  If you have to drive around to find a place to park the act of driving means that you couldn't have been parked at the same time. Likewise when you left the parking place and drove to the exit that could not be describes as parking either. So the first fail is  failing to specify the parking period. Section9 [2][a] In S9[2][f] the Act states  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Your PCN fails to mention the words in parentheses despite Section 9 [2]starting by saying "The notice must—..." As the Notice to Keeper fails to comply with the Act,  it follows that the Notice to Hirer cannot be pursued as they couldn't get the NTH compliant. Even if the the NTH was adjudged  as not  being affected by the non compliance of the NTK, the Notice to Hirer is itself not compliant with the Act. Once again the PCN fails to get the parking period correct. That alone is enough to have the claim dismissed as the PCN fails to comply with PoFA. Second S14 [5] states " (5)The notice to Hirer must— (a)inform the hirer that by virtue of this paragraph any unpaid parking charges (being parking charges specified in the notice to keeper) may be recovered from the hirer; ON their NTH , NPE claim "The driver of the above vehicle is liable ........" when the driver is not liable at all, only the hirer is liable. The driver and the hirer may be different people, but with a NTH, only the hirer is liable so to demand the driver pay the charge  fails to comply with PoFA and so the NPE claim must fail. I seem to remember that you have confirmed you received a copy of the original PCN sent to  the Hire company plus copies of the contract you have with the Hire company and the agreement that you are responsible for breaches of the Law etc. If not then you can add those fails too.

    • I understand what you mean. But consider that part of the problem, and the frustration of those trying to help, is the way that questions are asked without context and without straight facts. A lot of effort was wasted discussing as a consumer issue before it was mentioned that the property was BTL. I don't think we have your history with this property. Were you the freehold owner prior to this split? Did you buy the leasehold of one half? From a family member? How was that funded (earlier loan?). How long ago was it split? Have either of the leasehold halves changed hands since? I'm wondering if the split and the leashold/freehold arrangements were set up in a way that was OK when everyone was everyone was connected. But a way that makes the leasehold virtually unsaleable to an unrelated party.

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

I am in trouble with this company as well as I was due to pay the loan back on the 19th. I will be able to pay it on payday at the end of July. They have emailed me to inform me that they have added £50 charge to the loan, which I think is pretty excessive?

 

Original loan was £100 over 10 days, repayment should have been £115 on the 10th day.

 

Email from them:

Your bank has declined our numerous attempts to collect the 100Pounds loan repayment on your 10 day loan today and the payment remains outstanding. We are keen to be a loan provider that you can trust, but this relationship must work on both sides, in order to be successful.

Following our failure to collect your payment, the original repayment sum on your short-term loan of £115 will now have an administration fee applied to it of £50.00, bringing the total outstanding amount to £165, as set out in the credit agreement that you read and agreed to.

We'll try to make another attempt to collect your payment on 21/07/2014, but in the meantime, you can make an immediate payment by logging in to 100pounds.co.uk, calling us on 0203 608 9053 or emailing our team at [email protected]

If you continue to break the terms of our Credit Agreement, there may be significant repercussions:

- We will continue to charge administration fees for each step we need to undertake in our endeavours to collect your repayment on this loan.

HI there

Others will be along to help soon

 

Who is the PD Lender as well?

 

 

few things.

1) That admin charge is unlawful - Advice will be given i imagine on how to challege it.

2) From now on till the end of time, you will communicate via writing to these people and communicate with the words "In writing only" over the phone. No other words.

3) Whatever bank details you gave them needs to be changed. If you gave them a credit or debit card to take payments from you need that card cancelled like yesturday as they can and will take money (And keep trying) with or without your permission.

4) On that grounds cancel any continueous payment authority with your bank and them. all in writing

5) When sending letters send via post office and get proof of postage and staple it to a copy. This is a free service provided by the post office.

 

You may also want to create a thread for other debts you may have so people can help you with those.

Just found this at the bottom of the email

I dont mind paying them up to £150 on my payday just to get rid of them but it sounds from the email that they are going to charge me £50 every 7 days. I dont want to change banks again as I have only just done that..

I guess I could report my card as stolen and hope they dont get to the money?

Is it worth me emailing them and saying I agree to pay £150?

Do not pay that charge. It is a penalty charge and is very unlikely to be enforceable.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Could you give some advice about how I go about not paying the charge? Do I email them and say I agree to pay £120 or £x amount on payday and see if they accept

I guess If I dont cancel my card they are just going to take what they want which will affect my other payments

Simple. Tell them you arent paying it and ask them to justify it. You pay what you lent, plus the interest agreed. Once the term is up, the agreement has ended so if they try and add on more interest, it can be challenged.

Hi,

 

You don't need to cancel your bank account but you must write to the bank and inform them to cancel the CPA to 100pounds.co.uk/Sunny Marketing Ltd

Look in the library for the CPA letter.

 

Once you have this letter and have informed your bank any payments they are allowed to take by your bank must be paid back.

 

You can then write to 100pounds.co.uk / Sunny Marketing Ltd and offer them re-payment of the loan and the £15 interest only on your terms.

 

Its very important to get the CPA letter into your bank as soon as you possibly can as most payday loan companies just keep trying the card to take

payment of what they think is owing even their administration fee and could leave you with an empty bank account.

You must cancel your card

 

You can always set up new arrangements. And you should be setting up arrangements via standing orders so that YOU control what gets taken anyway.

 

You cannot report (yet) their charges to the fca.

 

If you have other PDLs I think its time you asked for more general advice to get you away from those loan sharks.

 

Just pay what was originally agreed and wait for the next letter/email from them. NO PHONECALLS

Come back and people can advise you on what to do next.

Just received this email!!!!!!

 

 

Please be aware that you have signed a Loan Agreement with us which clearly states that: "In the event that you do not pay the payment sum on the due date, you will be in default on your Loan, and

you will be charged a missed payment fee of £50.00 (which will be added once the loan has become 2 days overdue); and a missed payment fee of £50.00 (which will be added once the loan has become 17 days overdue)."

 

The due date of your loan was 19th July. You were able to extend your loan until 20th July for a £20 fee. As you were unable to repay or extend your loan, on 21st July a £50 charge was be added to your outstanding amount with us. This means that total amount is currently £165. No further charges will be added until 5th August.

 

The option to set up a repayment plan is available from day 12 of your loan cycle, which is 21st July.

 

You are able to set up a repayment plan by logging in to your account on our webpage. To set up the repayment plan you have to pay £50 straight away; the £25 fee for the repayment plan is included. When creating the repayment plan, please choose the same date for each of your future partial payments. Also, please note if you fail to make one of your repayments, your debt will be transferred to the Debt Collection immediately.

 

 

Best regards,

Does not matter what it says in the loan agreement.

UNLAWFUL terms in an agreement are unemforceable and therefore they can add whatever they like to the balnce. If you pay off what was orignally agreed (Original amount + Interest agreed) then they would (With a proper defence) struggle to get a ccj

You could also in theory start a small claims action against them for the money they are adding (Plus damages in restitution) and have that wiped off the balance.

 

Someone needs to draft a email for you I think.

 

Pointing out that their terms for penalty charges are unlawful and unenforceable and that if they do not remove them form the balance that you will consider court action to reclaim them. I would also try saying that as they have acted unlawfully that the account is now in dispute and should be frozen pending the outcome.

 

I would send such drafted letter to their ceos office postal signed for delivery

back it up 14 days later with a letter before action.

then begin the small claims process.

 

Others will be able to advise in more detail before you do any of this

It's not as easy as that. They have my card details and I don't want to cancel the card again. OK I could cancel the CPA and if that even works then I am still going to have to contact 100pounds and try to get them to accept £115, which they wont, then it will go into default and get passed to a debt collector etc etc. It's not as easy as you lot make out

 

I would rather just pay it and then report them if possible

You dont have to cancel the card. Tell your bank to cancel any and all transactions to the company and any CPA's that are on the account. Your bank, by law, cannot say no. But they will try.

 

It isn't easy... kinda. But it is straight forward. We've all been there and done that. You are starting to believe the crap that the PDL and DCA's say. Crap that is designed purely to scare and intimidate you into paying something which you do not owe.

 

If you decide to pay it, then a question comes to mind.. Why even bother coming here for advice? I'm sorry if its harsh, but thats how it looks. You do NOT have to pay them it. It is an unenforceable penalty charge.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Send a written letter to your bank, get free proof of postage from the post office and staple it to a copy of the letter you posted. Keep it safe.

 

As per post 19 above.

 

As for paying the original creditor

 

you could send them a cheque with a letter saying that their penalty charges are unlawful and that if they want to push it they should take you to court and this cheque is full and final settlement of the account If any DCAs contact you afterwards you just send a letter back saying "Account in dispute" Come back here at that point and we can advise you.

debtriddenfreak,

I am currently dealing with four PDLs on behalf of a friend.

The very first thing I did was to go to her bank ( with her) with four separate letters ( one for each CPA), signed by her, instructing the bank to cancel all CPAs forthwith. In each letter it stated that the bank would be held responsible for any monies taken by the PDLs after the date of each letter.

This is what you need to do forthwith, the banks will then act once they realise that you know what you are doing.

This protects your account as the banks will NOT want to reimburse you so they will not allow any demands from the PDLs to be successful.

 

As an aside, one PDL has already rolled over and agreed to a repayment plan. The other three havent responded to letters sent to them 3 weeks ago, but it doesnt matter, as the letters they received were sent by recorded delivery, we have proof they signed for them, so now its up to them to make the next move.

Hope this helps.
